Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

There are two ways for men to relax.

One is called soul and the other is called body.

During this period of time, there were many things going on in the court. Even with the help of Mu Yun, Gu Jiang and others, Zhou Zheng still couldn't really relax at all.

Fortunately, Su Xun'er is a considerate person.

Late every night, he changed his tricks and used various postures to help Zhou Zheng relax.

The moment the troubles in his body were completely released by Su Xun'er's soothing, Zhou Zheng truly felt a rare sense of peace.

The harmony of yin and yang is a great tonic!

However, maybe it was Su Xun'er's intention, or maybe Zhou Zheng's intention was to deliberately place Gong Tan's boudoir next to Su Xun'er during this period.

There was huge movement in the middle of the night, even though it was through the window, but the gentle moaning sounds from time to time still penetrated through the door and quietly entered Gong Tan's boudoir.

This kind of movement made Gong Tan toss and turn, making it difficult to fall asleep.

The blush and heat on his face, the surging blood in his body, his rapid breathing, and his somewhat dry throat all made Gong Tan's heartbeat disorder.

How she hoped that Zhou Zheng and Su Xun'er's exploration could end soon.

But she knew better that Zhou Zheng was a long-lasting person.

Hey!

In the end, Gong Tan could only sigh quietly in the middle of the night, and then struggled to fall asleep amidst the constant breathing sounds next door.

......

Report!

The Kingdom of Great Xia has assembled 300,000 elite troops, led by the nine princes, and is heading south. They will arrive in the north soon!

As the news from the border came, the entire Zhou Dynasty was completely shaken.

In the court, countless courtiers looked solemn and panicked.

Who would have thought that Daxia, which was defeated in the Battle of the Northern Territory and had its entire army wiped out in the Pampas and lost 200,000 to 300,000 troops, would still be able to fight.

Who would have thought that Daxia Country would be so fast!

Not even giving the court any time to react!

And this time the momentum was huge, all the elites came out, and even many princes led the army rashly!

Such a battle and posture has not appeared in Daxia for hundreds of years.

The Great Xia Kingdom wants to avenge its previous humiliation. It wants to use all the strength of the country to win back their glory and dignity at all costs!

The Zhenbei Army in the northern land also had serious faces at this time and did not dare to show any slightness.

On the solid city wall, the Zhenbei Army was already spread all over. They were wearing armor and fully armed. They were always ready and did not dare to neglect at all.

Since the Battle of the Northern Territory, Xiao Mu, Xiao Guan and others, under Zhou Zheng's advice, began to scientifically train soldiers. At the same time, they recharged their batteries and recruited recruits aggressively. Although they have not yet returned to their peak, they are now capable again. The scale is powerful enough to fight.

Coupled with the repaired and thickened city wall and the enhanced repeating crossbows already deployed on it, it was able to contain Daxia's attack.

But even so, everyone knows that this can only slow down the opponent!

It's almost impossible to resist!

"Father, the 300,000-strong army is now divided into nine groups. We are already stretched thin."

In the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, Xiao Hu and Xiao Bao looked troubled, and the soldiers sitting below also bowed their heads and remained silent.

Their Zhenbei Army has fought a life-and-death battle with the Great Xia Kingdom for decades, and they are very aware of the pressure of this invasion of the Great Xia Kingdom!

Although the troops are dispersed, it also means that the entire northern land will be attacked from all directions!

As long as the opponent opens any opening, the northern land will fall in the shortest time.

"We can only ask the imperial court for help, otherwise we can hold on for at most one month, and the northern territory will be destroyed!"

Xiao Hu's voice was a little hoarse. His words were not to boost others' morale or destroy his own prestige, but to state objective facts.

The Zhenbei Army has never been a coward!

They are not afraid of death, let alone on the battlefield.

But this time the Great Xia Kingdom came in force, and the entire Zhenbei Army could barely gather 100,000 men!

"That's right, father, we are now seriously short of manpower, and it is difficult to even prevent and control the entire northern border."

Xiao Bao smiled bitterly and shook his head as well.

As for the other generals, their fists were clenched and their faces were full of reluctance.

"no!"

However, at this moment, Xiao Guan spoke.

He was decisive and left almost no room for negotiation.

"In the Pampas grassland, the prince did not let our Zhenbei army move!"

"Even when Kyoto was undergoing great changes and the situation was extremely dangerous, we were told not to leave the northern border!"

"Have you ever wondered why?!"

Xiao Guan looked at the generals present and scolded them angrily.

"Because he wants us to guard the northern border, guard the Great Zhou's barrier, and guard the safety of the Great Zhou world."

His words continued to echo in the mansion.

"The current situation in the imperial court is equally difficult. The prince's recruitment is not going well, and he will not be able to support our northern territory in the short term."

"If our Zhenbei Army asks the Crown Prince for help now, do you know what the consequences will be?!"

"The world will think that the northern land cannot hold on any longer, the confidence of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be greatly affected, and the prince's difficult work will become even more difficult to accomplish!"

The words of Xiao Guan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, shocked everyone.

"How much pressure did the prince face in order to protect our Zhenbei Army?!"

"Even when he needed help the most, he never asked us to send any troops!"

"Now, the prince has just taken charge of the country, and the overall situation is not stable!"

"Under such circumstances, how did you open an exit to allow the prince to withdraw his troops and rush to reinforce the northern border?!"

Hitting the wheelchair with his fist, Xiao Guan scolded everyone present.

"Since the prince asked us to defend the northern border, no matter how difficult it is and how high the price we pay, we must defend the northern border!"

Xiao Guan raised his head with a firm look in his eyes.

He is Zhou Zheng's uncle, and he knows Zhou Zheng's temperament better than anyone else.

If Zhou Zheng had the means now, he would have sent a large army to support the northern border.

"That's right!"

Xiao Mu, who had been silent all this time, raised his somewhat old face, and there was also a trace of cruelty in his pupils.

"Even if our Zhenbei Army only has one soldier left, we must defend this position."

"This is the only thing I, the Zhenbei Army, and my grandfather, can do for Zheng'er now."

There was a hint of determination in Xiao Mu's voice.

He absolutely cannot allow the northern land to become a burden to Zhou Zheng this time!

"But!"

Seeing Xiao Mu and Xiao Guan like this, Xiao Hu and Xiao Bao stopped talking.

It's not that they are afraid of death, or that they are unwilling, but there seems to be no way at all.

"I have a plan!"

After a long time, Xiao Guan slowly exhaled a puff of turbid air.

"Send out in batches, take the initiative, and exchange lives for lives!"
